TIE GANGS CAMPAIGN.

The plan of campaign of the Coy gang for
gaining control of the city government is now
fully disclosed, and it will be the fault of the
people if it is not defeated. The "still hunt"
on which they have hitherto relied with a
view of attracting as little public attention as
possible, is partially thwarted by the disclosures
in the Journal OF yesterday. They are levy
ing tribute on the breweries and saloons by
which they expect to raise, and doubtless
will raise. a large corruption fund. The
breweries of this city have been assessed
81, 900 each, the Aurora brewery $500, and
every saloon in the city 10 per cent on its
estimated profits from the "wide-open" policy
The money thus raised is to be used, first, in
securing "a vindication" for Coy and his CO.
conspirators in the tally-sheet forgeries, and
second, in securing the election of Mayor
and Council pledged to do the bid
ding of the gang. The last forty-eight
hours have furnished new evidence of their
plans and purposes and of the undisputed
sway exercised by the boss. The nomination
of Michael O'Donnell, one of John E. Sulli-
vans deputies, for city clerk, in place of Mr..
Shields, deceased. reveals the same spirit and
hand that nominated Fdenharter for Mayor.
Both nominations are the work of Coy's COM
mittee and both candidates are his creatures.
O'Donnell is the police sergeant who was
made superintendent when Lang was de-
posed, and his record during his incumbency
of that Office showed that the gang knew
their man. Superintendent Lang after
long fight. was removed because he was dis
tasteful to the Coy gang, and O'Donnell
was made superintendent to do their bid
ding He did it. For his services
IN that capacity he won the lasting gratitude
of the gang, who have now rewarded him
with nomination for city clerk. His nomi-
nation rounds out the work of the Coy COM
mittee. and, in conjunction with the nominal
ton of Edenharter, makes symmetrical job
of ring work. Councilmanic and aldermanic
nominations have been dictated by the same
authority, so that the list of Democratic can
didates as a whole and in all its parts
is the embodiment of Coyism. To
elect this ticket the brewers and saloons of
this city and of other cities and towns are be-
ing assessed to an extent which will undoubt-
eddy furnish a large corruption fund, by which
it is hoped to carry the election.
This is the situation which the honest citi-
zens Of Indianapolis have to contemplate, and
we ask them in all seriousness. what are you
going to do about it? Is our city government
to be government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, a government of
and by and for Sim Coy? Are the laws to be
respected and enforced, the liquor traffic
regulated and crime held in check, or are the
opposite conditions to prevail, with all their
demoralizing and debauching influences
city politics. city interests and public morals9
The election will take place two weeks from
tomorrow, and it is time for honest citizens
not only to be thinking, but to be acting if
they would avert the disaster and disgrace of
a triumph by the gang.
